Like the name indicates, dry ginger powder is the grounded form of dried ginger roots. It is essentially used as a seasoning agent. However, the powdered form doesn’t carry the strong pungent flavour from the roots. Hence, it is used for giving a mild taste to the dishes.
It is commonly used as a seasoning agent while preparing ginger breads, cakes, cookies and ginger beer. Powdered ginger should be stored in a cool place in an airtight container.
